Police launched a double murder investigation today after the bodies of a man and a woman were discovered.

The couple were found by police just before 9.30pm last night on an estate in Trusthorpe, Lincolnshire.

Police have not yet revealed how the pair died. The main A52 between Mablethorpe and Trusthorpe has been sealed off by police while forensic teams examine the scene.

A Lincolnshire Police spokesman said they found the bodies at an address in Radio St Peter on Sutton Road last night.

Local residents said the incident took place within a collection of bungalows known as Radio St Peters. Roads had been cordoned off and many people were still waiting to hear exactly what had happened.
